Great Sword Mythic

it is believed that rune fencer will wield a great sword if that's true is it possible to think that a great sword mythic would pop up?
if so should be a single hit physical or elemental or multi-hit physical or elemental?

Chances are no, there won't be a Mythic. There may be a relic-class weapon that crops up, but it won't be a Mythic.

They said there would be a Mythic...

I hope the WS sucks like most of them do.

I wouldnt close out the chance of a mythic so readily. Remember, dancer and scholar both have a mythic weapon and both came out long after TOAU was finished, and if memory serves, after the quests for the mythics came out. I believe i read some where that SE was going to make a mythic weapon for each of the new jobs, but not change or adjust any of the relics. SE has been very stead fast in their choice to not add ANY jobs to the relics, not even the TOAU or the WOTG jobs.

If i had to place money on geomancer and runefencer getting either a relic or mythic, i would bet mythic.

SoA weapons need to be amazing.

Hasn't this been beat to friggin death? They said mythic then they corrected themselves and said "equivalent to mythic", so not mythic. Unless they change it again, or come up with a new statement, I'd just assume no mythic, but some other type of ultimate weapon for the 2 new jobs.

Also, not that I expect Rune Fencer to be a very good DD to begin with unless runes are fantastic, but it's not going to be able to compete at all with the current looks of things (no magian weapons wtf SE)

WoTG came out in November 2007. Mythic weapons came out in July 2008.

I stand corrected. Thank you ^^

no, that is not what they said. The XI playerbase is once again playing chinese whispers

Check post 33.

People keep taking it out of context. The post, while still having room to be interpreted differently, is still likely "they're getting AF, relic, empy armor, and mythic weapons" when applying Occam's Razor. The Myriad Arms of Balrahn never had any sort of limit on the number of weapons in the lore (Balrahn was a collector, who knows how many legendary weapons he had), so it's not like they'd even run into some kind of problem in that aspect.

with out going thru all the semantics, i was on the line of rational thinking that just a mythic great sword would come in to play just for the fact that each job has one. now as for relics weapon they didn't link blu pup cor sch or dnc to the relic weapons which is understandable.


IMO it seems to that they could 3 ways with great swords 1. (most likely) just link the job to the rest of the non-relic great swords just be magian trials, emp. great swords, a new mythic GS and a adoulin GS 2.(less likely) just as they did with dnc and thf with daggers. or 3. (highly possible)make a whole new line of great swords that are rune fencer only.

when we release content for these new jobs in Seekers of Adoulin, they will be able to earn the equivalent of Relic equipment, Empyrean equipment, and Mythic weapons. We simply used these terms to make it clearer and we haven't officially decided on what names these types of equipment will take.

Yeah that is pretty much what they said. EQUIVALENT. I'm not sure how it can be interpreted any differently >_<.

It's gonna be Excalipoor.

Whatever it is, I'm digging it.

Apparently you are doing just that, because you're taking the word "equivalent" to mean that they're going to make a totally new class of item:


In fact, they're just saying they're going to be called different names like the AF/Relic/etc for every single class, as in BLU is called Magus/Mirage/Mavi and WAR is called Fighter's/Warrior's/Ravager's. In fact they basically outright stated in that post that they're adding Mythics for RNF/GEO, so unless they change their minds it's going to be just be mythics. Unless you seriously think they're making 4 completely new classes of items only for RNF/GEO unlike what they've done for every other job in the past. That's certainly possible, but not very likely.

The only things that may have a different method of procurement is the Artifact armor since the TOAU/WOTG jobs had slightly different ways of obtaining their AF compared to jobs before them.

Yeah, no.

It's been explained several times now.

It wouldn't shock me is there was a Adoulin version of a Relic/Mythic/Empy

Celestial weapons woo~

Are you suggesting that they're going to add a completely new class of legendary weapon right from the release of Adoulin? I mean, it's possible (Empyreans were added right when Abyssea first hit), but I'm more willing to believe that they're going to be lazy and not come with totally different lore for a new JSE weapon for RNF/GEO when the lore of the Myriad Arms of Balrahns allows for them to add however many weapons to the list they want without needing to design an all-new questline.

Again. Do I have to highlight what I JUST posted last night? equivalent of Relic equipment, Empyrean equipment, and Mythic weapons, which means A DIFFERENT CLASS OF WEAPON. How is that so far fetched. AU had mythics, and Aby had empy weapons. It's not THAT too far of an assumption they could make a new type of weapon, considering what I've quoted twice now. Not to mention, with a new brand of ultimate weapon it'll keep people subscribed, trying to chase these new weapons.... Shocker I know, but I'm gonna let ya take that in for a minute. It's been said many times over now. I'm sure you WANT a mythic Gsword, but they did say no. It'll be an all new quest for their ultimate weapon.

They didn't say no. They've had two ambiguous posts. Stop pretending like they said anything definite.

I think it's really only ambiguous if you just don't want to believe what they said. I read it as a pretty clear statement myself. *shrug* Agree to disagree at this point, but the statement is there in black and white.

It's not to me.
I read it as they're gonna have the share of those same things.

Just wait.

Or you're not reading the post correctly. The statement can also be read as "they're getting mythic weapons", because equivalent means...uh, equivalent. It also doesn't make any sense for them to create all-new content with the sole purpose of obtaining relic/empyrean armor only for RNF/GEO.

I'm more leaning towards just mythic weapons because they're saying it's going to be there at launch. I don't expect Adoulin to have its own class of legendary weapons until at least a few months in.

Why would they say "equivalent to relic/artifact and mythic weapons" and not just "they will be getting mythic weapons as well"? And what you're expecting and what they have planned, could be entirely different things. Aby had empy weapons at launch, so it's not a stretch to think the bases for the new line of weapons will be at launch. Remember this game is old, so they need a carrot to chase the minute this ***launches or they are just going to lose everybody again in 3 months tops.

It's not an expectations cause *** if I want to do a mythic. But it's very plausible.

They're made a habit in the past of being really verbose about things that should be really simple.

That just sounds like you're making an excuse to interpret their statement, how you want to interpret it >_<.
